I'm new here so I'm getting the vibe of this place. I figured this site would be similar to the YT comments I read where they shit on him, but this is different, you people genuinely like the guy for some reason and excuse him for his actions while also calling him a retard.
But to your main point about the Puff thing. I never said pets at a pet store are more sentient than a pig or cow I eat.
That's your words not mine.
They're both obviously sentient. They're aware they are alive and have emotions.
It's just as human beings we have more emotional investment into categories, and that's just normal. A pig or a cow is a livestock to be used for food. If it isn't a pet I don't care if it dies.
A dog, cat, and iguana have higher value to us.
I wonder how you guys would feel if he accidentally killed a puppy. It's just something to think about.
